Product details

Provocative, absurd, and linguistically powerful, "Trophy" poses the existential question: What is a human life worth? Hunter White, incredibly wealthy, American, and an avid hunter, had nearly everything in his sights. Finally, his friend Van Heeren offers him a chance to shoot a rhinoceros, giving him the opportunity to complete the "Big Five." Hunter travels to Africa, but his plans are abruptly thwarted by poachers. He plots revenge when Van Heeren asks him if he has ever heard of the "Big Six." As an alternative, he can offer him another trophy to hunt. Gaea Schoeters' award-winning novel possesses an extraordinary narrative force. The depth with which she describes the sounds and smells of nature allows readers to sensually experience what morally leads one to the boundaries between right and wrong. "Schoeters pulls the ground from under your feet. This is great literature." "How Gaea Schoeters undermines the hubris of the white man and sharpens the consequences of colonialism is breathtaking." "Even people who want nothing to do with the topic of 'hunting' will read Trophy with fascination." "A book that rocked us.".
